Your questions about asbestos removal in Sulhamstead Bannister Upper End

Could my house in Sulhamstead Bannister Upper End contain asbestos?

Do I get anything in writing afterwards?

Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.

Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the method depends on what the material is.
